Abstract
We report a successful third complex heart operation without the transfusion of any allogeneic blood or blood products in a female Jehovah's Witness patient who had pronounced preoperative anaemia with a haemoglobin value of 6.9 mg/dl. The report shows that such a procedure is possible without any transfusion of allogeneic blood or blood products in extreme conditions with a very low preoperative haemoglobin level.Entities:
